Lunatic Fringe

Rated PG-13: All Ages, Parental Guidance Suggested.

by Russell Longcore

Thursday, for no apparent reason, and apropos of nothing, I remembered a song from the early 80s entitled “Lunatic Fringe.” The song was performed by Red Rider, a Canadian band. I always thought this was done by Pink Floyd.

So I found a video of it at Youtube, which is shown below. And I’ve posted the lyrics with comments.

I do not think that the songwriter intended my interpretation. I think he was trying to say something about the kook, tin-hat-wearing conspiracy theorists, the John Birchers, the white supremacists, etc. But in the ensuing 30 years since this song was recorded, the world has turned upside down. The kooks were right all along.

In 2011, the lunatic fringe is Washington…the international banksters…the “one worlders”…the Skull and Bones crowd…the Bilderberg Group…greenies…the Council on Foreign Relations…the International Monetary Fund…Wall Street. There are perhaps only a few thousand psychopathic tyrants trying to control 6 billion people worldwide. THEY are the ones with the insane ideas. THEY are the ones who keep trying to make socialism work long after it has failed. THEY are the ones who steal and counterfeit. THEY are the ones responsible for over 200 million people dead in the last 100 years of human history through wars, starvation and privation.

Here are the lyrics with comment.

Lunatic fringe – I know you’re out there(the power brokers worldwide)You’re in hiding, and you hold your meetings(CFR, Bilderberg, IMF, Group of 8, Dem/Rep presidential conventions)I can hear you coming, and I know what you’re after(New World Order)We’re wise to you this time we won’t let you kill the laughter(Liberty)

Lunatic fringe – in the twilight’s last gleaming(just before the global collapse)This is open season, but you won’t get too far(martial law)’cause you got to blame someone for your own confusion(Keynesianism)we’re all on guard this time against the final solution(One World Government)

We can hear you coming no, you’re not going to win this timewe can hear you coming not gonna winwe can hear the footsteps out along the walkwaywe can hear the footsteps out along the walkway

Lunatic fringe, we all know you’re out thereCan you feel the resistance?(Secession, militias, The Rise of the 3 Percenters)Can you feel the thunder?(Armed Resistance & 4th Generation Warfare)
